HPE And Alfanar Receive Recognition For Saudi Made Servers At Digital Technology Forum

At the Digital Technology Forum, a significant milestone was marked by the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Eng. Abdullah Alswaha. He awarded Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for its Saudi Made servers produced at Riyadh's regional site. This initiative is in collaboration with Alfanar and aims for global export. The event was attended by Vice Minister Eng. Haitham Al-Ohali and CST Governor Dr. Mohammed Al-Tamimi.

The introduction of Saudi Made servers by HPE is part of a broader strategy to boost server production for local and regional clients. This move is expected to provide advanced solutions that will strengthen Saudi Arabia's position as a regional tech hub. It also supports global supply chains and addresses the growing demand for reliable technologies in the region.

This initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to enhance the national infrastructure's efficiency in achieving its objectives. According to CST, this effort strengthens Saudi Arabia's leadership in technology manufacturing. It also increases the percentage of tech product exports to priority markets, promoting local tech companies globally.

HPE's locally manufactured products will carry the "Saudi Tech" logo, representing a national identity under the Saudi Made Program. This program is a collaborative effort between several ministries and authorities, including the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, and others.

The recognition given to HPE highlights CST's role in enhancing local tech products' value. It underscores efforts to promote these products both locally and internationally. The initiative aims to increase exports of tech products from Saudi Arabia to key markets worldwide.

By launching its first Saudi Made servers with alfanar, HPE demonstrates its commitment to supporting local manufacturing capabilities. This step not only meets local market needs but also positions Saudi Arabia as a pivotal player in regional technology markets.

The collaboration between HPE and Alfanar signifies a strategic move towards increasing server production within the Kingdom. This partnership is crucial for providing advanced solutions that cater to both local and regional technological demands.

This development reflects a concerted effort by various governmental bodies to promote local content and government procurement policies. The aim is to foster an environment where locally made tech products can thrive on both national and international stages.

The presence of high-ranking officials at the ceremony underscores the importance of this initiative in advancing Saudi Arabia's technological landscape. It marks a significant step towards achieving greater self-reliance in technology manufacturing within the Kingdom.
